Thanks! It’s a Shopify storefront, so there isn’t much I could futz with - hoping a temporary glitch on their end. Let me know if it’s still broken for you. :)

Yes, you too. ❤️

Fine then. Fine!

Yes you should! 🤩

Oh fun! Hah thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into it. :)

Second colour proof of my Thatchers screen print.

Here's my second colour proof of my Thatchers print. It will look almost like this only hopefully with a few more white brush strokes at the top.

All film positives made entirely by hand with paper cuts, brush marks and pencil marks.

I’m going to have to watch Real Genius this weekend. Best movie of all time.

Photo of a resin monster figure by the artist Gnarf Death.

Dear Internet! I have this awesome resin monster figure circa 2008 by an artist that went by Gnarf Death.
They don’t appear to have a web presence based on that handle any longer, but I’d like to see what they are up to!
As a clue, I’m almost certain they were involved with Jorge R. Gutierrez.

Stylised drawing of a maned wolf

Maned Wolf, the best animal, from a while back

A colourful graphic illustration of a New York style news stand on a street, the sky ir orange and pink and making things glow in the picture. The news stand is dark green with a bright pink 'OPEN" sign on the roof. There is lots of graphic signage and magazines on the stand, each magazine has a colourful illustration on it. To the left of the kiosk is a dalmatian dog and to the right a pink bicycle is leaning against a tree. There is a man standing in the kiosk window with ginger hair, glasses and a beard. There is also a fridge in the newsstand full of bottled and can drinks.
